History

There are more than 5,000 stores around the world that belong to the global network and specialize in the production of quilts. They are handcrafted and unique. Each element carries a certain emotional load. The holiday gained recognition quickly. In 2021, the governors of some states decided to grant it official status. The date for the celebration was set for January 23rd.

In the 1700s, the art of quilting began to gain popularity. It was considered accessible only to extremely wealthy people. At present, anyone can start sewing by using old unnecessary things from the closet, giving them new life.

In Denver, one of the top attractions for curious tourists is the Quilt Museum. Inside, there are over five hundred types of quilts made in various styles.
